 | Fitting In  [13+] "It’s just school" The phrase held a different meaning for her. A Monthly Calendar Entry  |
| (4.5)| Hallo 🌖 HuntersMoon ! I will be reviewing your work "Fitting In" for "Game of Thrones"  Content: Written for a short story contest, this is a tale of a teenage girl trying to fit -as best as possible - into her new high school. Pluses: I knew coming into your port would be a feast for the reading senses, and you did not disappoint with this short story. I guess the cover image should have been a dead give away, but I honestly didn't even pay attention to it. I was just curious to know what this tale entailed with the summary alone. It starts out innocently enough; the typical teen deciding on what to wear and how to look in the morning for the gruelling torture that is a day in high school. Unfortunately, there's the added pressure of this being her first day at the place, and coming from a completely different side of the country; one can expect the culture shock and difficulty in adjusting. We see our protagonist struggle to remember her mother's advice to not be judgemental/prejudiced, while doing her best to remain 'unseen' as much as possible. I don't want to go all stereotypical and state that the behaviour/reaction from not just the students, but the teacher should have given one the idea of what was to come, but it was still a shock anyway. Way to go, Southerners (not all of them though!). The last scene tugged at the heartstrings. I can already imagine all the hardships she's bound to endure unless she's able to find even one person willing to stand up for her and show that she's just another ordinary human being. Wishful thinking sometimes with such situations, right?  As I stated earlier, your writing is always able to capture the tone of the situations, and your characters have a depth in their personalities that resonate with readers. It was a pleasure to read this story, and I thank you for sharing. Write on!
